Haussner's inspired strawberry pie
Pies
Haussner's was a fabled Baltimore restaurant known for their massive German menu and massive oil painting collection. They were also known for what is arguably the best strawberry pie. My Dad would always order one when he had dinner parties and I would reap the leftover benefits for breakfast the following morning. The pie was so good I couldn't even get it on a plate; I'd eat it straight from the box while sitting on the counter. Haussner's closed years ago taking the pie with it, that pie was a piece of Baltimore and it should have been preserved. There are a couple recipes for it on line, however, they do not recreate the pie I remember, bland imitations loaded down in food coloring. So a couple years ago I attempted my own version. I was hesitant to taste it since I had so many childhood memories wrapped up in this pie but it didn't let me down.
